Bigball12's Official NBA Elite 11 Thread!

I will be laying low for a while with the media uploads. I will still take any questions about the game, and happy to post impressions as I go along. I plan on still using photos as well. This is very disappointing to me, as I was looking forward to ringing you guys video coverage. I will not stop overing this game for you guys, even if it means not being able to use video as a medium. I appreciate all of the support! Thank You!

So as some of you may know, I won the very exclusive Ebay auction for a copy of NBA Elite 11 for the Playstation 3. I will keep this introduction very short, as there is a lot to get to.

Firstly, The gameplay is 100% the exact same as the demo. They did patch the dunking distance though, which is good. Everything else is literally 100% the same!

I intend to be one of if not the only source of information about the retail version of this game. I intend to cover this game inside and out throughout the season. I was well aware of the community involvement with this story when I purchased the game. I will do my best to answer every single question from everyone. Although you must understand, with this topic being on two forums (Operation Sports & NBA Live Series Center) the quantity of questions may be great, and may overwhelm me at times. Please, please do not PM me about the game. I really hate to have a full inbox, and I would really appreciate it if you would respect this wish. Other than that, any question about the game is fair ground. I will be making many, many, many youtube videos showing off match-ups, ratings, player faces, courts etc.

I can handle criticisms, and negativity, but try not to flood the posts with disrespect. Let guys who truly want to know about the game, get their answers. The main topic that seems to be popular is the amount of $ I spent. Everyone's financial situation is different, and I am very fortunate to be able to afford luxuries like this. I felt that this opportunity was too good to let slip.

I wanted this game to go to someone who will love and cherish it for eternity! It would be a tragedy for this game to have ended up in the hands of someone who wanted it for the monetary gain. I have every single NBA Live since 1994, and to have this opportunity pass by me, was unthinkable.

I am an extremely fortunate individual, and am very glad to be able to bring this game to you lot. I truly want you to feel as though you are playing this game vicariously through me.

I will be updating this thread nearly daily, with new videos. Enjoy! And let the NBA Season truly begin!

As a first post, let me just say, that after playing a few games, this is 100% the exact same as the Demo. the only thing noticeably different is that the distance of the dunks has been altered, so they are not completed from insane distances!

That's pretty awesome, good to know the game went to someone who is a true Live fan . Right now, I don't have any questions about the game, but keep us informed about any videos you post on Youtube.

How do you feel about Real Time Physics?

Looking forward to see some of your videos.

videos would be great

can you connect to the EA servers? are there any DNA updates? can you redeem the NBA Jam code?

Thanks for the opportunity.

When you get a chance to run a simulation or two in Dynasty Mode, can you please post some of the results as far as simulated stats, awards winners, generated rookies and the like are concerned?

Is the traditional reorder roster function available in Dynasty Mode? Any other new screens or functions that you can see?

Is there a hybrid/custom controller configuration option in addition to the default Hands-On Control scheme and the alternate, NBA Live 10-style scheme?

That's all the comes to mind off the top of my head but I'll be sure to post anything else that comes to mind.

New Videos up On 1st Post!

No the servers are down, and yes, I redeemed the NBA Jam Code. More surprises to come!

I will run the simulations for sure. I will do it with the Knicks and Bulls. When you start dynasty, it asks if you want to take the current rosters in or re-do the 2010 draft. The hybrid NBa Live 10 scheme is still in.

huh, I thought there was supposed to be a third scheme that combined the buttons & shot stick or something of that nature.

I guess I would love a video of an in-game collision in replay mode in super slow motion. just so we can see how the players actually collide.

Just did a simulation for Bulls vs. Knicks.

Knicks 104 - Bulls 96

Amar'e 33 Pts. 6 Reb.
Gallinari 23 Pts.
Carmelo (I added him) 21 Pts. 4 Reb.
Randolph 6 Pts. 11 Reb.
Felton 9 Pts. 8 AST.

Boozer 44 Pts. 15 Reb.
Noah 8 Pts. 12 Reb. (1 Orb)
Deng 11 Pts. 6 Reb.
Rose 29 Min. 4 Pts. 2/14 Fg 13 Ast.

Simulated a Dynasty! Very odd West team. the game is played at the Staples Center, and the court is very festive and nice too.

2010 All Star Game Teams:

East:
C Dwight
PF Boozer
SF Bron
SG Joe Johnson
PG Rondo

Bench:
Bogut
Carmelo
Amar'e
Josh Smith
Andre Iguodala

Dwayne Wade
Bosh

West:
C Yao
PF Dirk
SF Durant
SG Kobe
PG Deron Williams

Bench:
Nash
Duncan
Gasol
Kevin Love
Nene
Kevin Martin
Tyreke Evans

I guess this makes you the only guy to own the unreleased retail version of the game.

I'd like to know more about the "Become Legendary" mode.

Those All-Star teams aren't quite as a bad as they could be, I've experienced worse in NBA Live. Occasionally you'd get decent selections though so I'm definitely interested in seeing how further simulations turn out.

What do the league leaders look like?

Stupid question but I would like to see a still picture of the Cavs court if you wouldnt mind . I would like to know if they have the same one as 2k.

Boozer is a monster in Elite huh. First, the FT line dunk over KG, now this - becoming MVP.

guess this makes you the only guy to own the unreleased retail version of the game.

I redeemed the NBA Jam Code

I hope EA doesn't go gestapo on your ass bigball12 since you have a copy of their unreleased delayed game.


Thanks for sharing this with the community.


Q: How's the trade logic?

Terrible! Right after the ASG, Nash was traded to the Bulls for Deng & Draft Pick & Baron Davis traded to TOR for Amir Johnson, Ed Davis & Draft Pick

wow, that's pretty bad

Looks like it's the same as 2Ks; perhaps that will be the design after all.

Shame to hear about the trade logic, from memory that was supposedly one of the things that was addressed in Dynasty Mode this year.

I would like to see the improvements they made to the create a player mode when you get a chance.

Are the jersey numbers "shiny" like in many of the PS3 demo videos I have seen?

Come across the Jesus glitch?

The guy you bought this from is selling another one, it's up to almost $700 US now.

bigball12 bought it at a bargain considering that.
I have this feeling that EA will go gestapo with the seller.

Andrew its not the final design I've seen pictures of the actual court just cant find them anymore lol . It must have been what they were going to go with , but lets thank god that they didn't because its looks terrible lol . Thank you very much for replying so quick .
